Things to Know Before Cancelling Your Google One Subscription

Let us have a quick look at what happens after you cancel the subscription to give you a better idea.

• Your future payments to Google One will stop once you cancel your Google One subscription. However, if you’ve subscribed through a third party, you must cancel your subscription from there as well.
• You will lose access to Google One VPN, support team, Google Photos perks, etc., included in your Google One subscription.
• You will lose the extra space in the Google One plan, and your Google account will revert to 15GB of storage.
• Before canceling your subscription, ensure your account is within Google’s free 15GB limit. Or else you might not be able to send emails or use Google Drive in general.
• If you’re using a family plan, once the subscription period ends, everyone’s Google accounts will revert to the 15GB limit sans the Google One perks.
• Google One subscriptions are usually non-refundable. So, unless you’re in a country that permits partial refunds, even after you cancel your subscription, you will retain Google One benefits until the end of your current subscription duration with no refunds.
• Your account data does not get deleted once you unsubscribe to Google One. Google will only delete information related to your Google One subscription.
